Plucky self-builders have been given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to build their wildest imaginings. There is a new street in York, where Kevin McCloud follows the development of some incredible pioneering projects. As well as returning to Graven Hill to see more extraordinary projects being built, Kevin will return to Glasgow with co-presenter Natasha Huq to witness the final few homes going up in the iconic self-build street there. 
This series of Grand Designs: The Streets will capture the spirit of community that these incredible self-build streets engender, as the determination, resilience and ambition of the builders shines through, to create something extraordinary.
