how do u mean planning condition? as in what colour it had to be?

Yup I'd expect the colour to be a planning condition. Otherwise you could paint it bright pink. Or add a flag of your choice. Etc.

i should have clarified the wood cladding is already on, just deciding whether to paint it now

If it's already on, don't paint it. As the wood expands and contracts you'll end up with little lines at the joins.
