Grand Designs: the road was a epic five years in the building. Within this six-part show, presented by Kevin McCloud, cameras follow on which would be the largest job of the UK, the 10 households that are building a brand-new street out of scratch. This ground-breaking experiment takes place at a prime location near Bicester, only 14 miles from Oxford and under an hour from London by train. The land was bought by the area council from the MOD, and instead of attempting to sell it to a developer for a fast profit, they've pre-approved outline preparation and sold plots about # 100k each for into the public . The budget for each house is #250,000, and every household is currently expecting to build for under it might cost them to purchase in the area. With outline preparation, budgets ranging from 160k to 500k, and also ages including 24-72, each household includes a freedom to express themselves in their range of design and construction methods. Cameras will catch these intrepid self-builders constructing their homes that are exclusive -- turning into a field to a street. It's a great opportunity, but maybe perhaps not without risk. In the method, these leaders will endure structural crises, from injury, and economic and physical exhaustion. The anxiety about self-building will lead to connections, and friendships to fail. People that view the projects to end is going to likely probably be rewarded with beautiful homes, tailored for their requirements.
