I work with painted pvcu all the time ,do you have any idea of how hard it is to get paint to stick to plastic without changing the structure of the plastic and allowing for movement of the material .The op is being ridiculous and moaning about nothing ,the cables will get painted over the next time the building gets painted .

How is this VM's fault. Someone most hold a freelance of ownership on the building you should be taking this up with them as they would have agreed to the work bein carried out and would have overseen everything!

So obviously the planning permission was agreed for black cable to be ran.
Not sure that planning permission is required for this as it's only a conservation area not listed properties .Conservation areas tend to be mainly concerned with structural alterations such replacement windows ,conservatories and extensions ,but yes the work would have been passed through the LA and agreed between them ,the building owner and VM so my advice to the op is to quit whining about this trivial matter and get onto the building owner to have it painted if it bugs the tennants that much
