Default British diseased Larch

I am watching Grand Designs, they are using Japanese Larch a tree grown in Britain on huuuge areas of National Trust land....
Unfortunately it is diseased and has to come down, this wood has on the show been found to be super strong and requires no pre treatment prior to being used in construction.

Now, is it me or could this disease be a blessing in disguise?
I'm thinking a new town made with/in situ of the forest....
could this be possible?

I dunno, these were full grown trees... Like a forest.
It's a bit worrying isn't it?
