Dundee records highest level of affordable housing completions since 2006

The highest level of new affordable homes since 2006 has been recorded in Dundee with completions over the past year outnumbering private homes in the city, according to the latest figures.

The annual Dundee Housing Land Audit for 2024 revealed that 483 homes were completed, comprising 282 units (58%) for social rent and 201 (42%) private housing.

Around 83% of the completions in 2023/24 were on brownfield land and 17% were greenfield completions.



Steven Rome, convener of Dundee City Council’s fair work, economic growth and infrastructure committee said: “It has been another positive year for house building completions.

“The Housing Land Audit is a fascinating insight into the city’s economic progress, and I would urge anyone who has an interest to get involved with the consultation.”

Lynne Short, depute convener of Dundee City Council’s neighbourhood regeneration, housing and estate management committee added: “New housing is the foundation of what we need to do to help make Dundee a more attractive place to live and work and only by working across private, public and social housing will we deliver for the city.”

The annual audit provides a source of information which is important to the council in its work monitoring the Dundee Local Development Plan, representing a factual statement of land supply within Dundee City Council’s boundary up until March 31, 2024.



Following the consultation period, comments from stakeholders will be reviewed and any amendments made as necessary before the Dundee Housing Land Audit 2024 is finalised and published.
