Hi,

I'm building a timber frame house and my intention is to put up 15mm
chipboard over the studs, with a 12.5mm plasterboard over that, and
then skim the whole thing in plaster.

I've now been told that this will repeatedly crack from now till the
house falls down. Now I expect the plaster to crack as the building
settles, but every year?

Does anyone have any experience of plastering in a timber frame and
what the long term consequences have been?

It's fairly common in timber framed buildings not to skim the
plasterboard, but to used filled and taped joints.
