I believe the plaster got damp and possibly trapped water behind which prevented it from drying out. When it got cold, the paint has cracked and mould grown again (see 1st pic).
I'm getting a damp inspection done this week.
Thank for your comments.

I hope all goes well for you and you get it sorted soon. I must admit I will be interested in the results of the damp inspection and if VM are indeed at fault let's hope your claim against them runs as smoothly as possible. Good luck.
