Grand Designs: The Street has been an epic five years in the making. In this six-part series, presented by Kevin McCloud, cameras follow the first 10 pioneering households who are building a brand new street from scratch, on what will ultimately be the UK's largest self-build project.This ground-breaking experiment takes place in a prime location near Bicester, just 14 miles from Oxford and under an hour from London by train. The local council bought the land from the MOD, and instead of selling it to a developer for a quick profit, they have pre-approved outline planning and sold plots to the general public for around £100k each.
There is no Next Episode of Grand Designs: The Streets planned.

Kevin McCloud and Natasha Huq return to Gravern Hill to catch up with Amanda and Chris and Joanna and Ben who decided to build their own houses on the UK's largest self-build site.

Joanna and Ben built an American ranch-style house and have been adding to it ever since to ensure their unique vision stands out.
