New build sites in Dunbar

Every housing site with planning consent that East Lothian Council’s housing land audit and planning register place in Dunbar: 22 sites and 701 homes, 376 of them still to build.

The totals count each home once. A site the council's audit already holds under another name, or one announced by a developer and not yet in any council schedule, is drawn on the map and left out of the totals. Last updated August 2026, and refreshed monthly.
