What is Grand Designs: the Street?
Kevin McCloud had the inspiration to film the project after visiting the Netherlands in 2010 to see the largest city built by his own interests near Amsterdam.
"A small local authority in Bicester, the Cherwell District Council, was also stung by the Almere virus," he said.
The council invited people to buy land for £ 100,000 each, on which they could build their own properties.
The cameras followed the DIY builders over a period of five years while they were working on their structures, all of which are different from each other.
Kevin said: "Ultimately, there will be thousands of homes, social housing, custom builds and self-builds.
"I believe it's a model that could be copied by local authorities from one end of the country to the other."
The presenter also stated that it was one of the most dramatic series that he had filmed as part of Grand Designs, explaining: "Building for the first time causes a lot of financial stress, personal and emotional ".
