Just out of interest, like, does anyone know how much it costs to build
a house on a plot that you own in England, or anywhere I can find
something like a guesstimated cost per square whatever for building a
bungalow?

If 'Grand Designs' is owt to go by, fights with Planning are the big
problem

That's hardly surprising, as the projects they choose are all out of the
ordinary.

Perhaps they should show somebody building an ordinary house, with an
ordinary amount of money...

They've actually come pretty close WRT the money part. (Certainly in the
250- 300k range which buys nothing very grand round here) But
seriously, if you're going to go to all that extra hassle, why build
something ordinary. Sure keep the budge down, but otherwise, why bother?

The above is very true. It's called "Kerbside Appeal" in EA jargon.
Others call it the twee look. But it sells houses and adds value when
it comes to the crunch.
