I'm boarding the inside of a window but noticed a gap at the top where
there's a fascia panel attached to the window frame but not the building.

Given it would be a faff to fill and it's in the rebate i'm wondering
whether to bother, the only issue I can see is it's letting air into the
cavity, which is no real bad thing?

Did someone get their window measurements wrong ?.
Normally you allow 5mm tolerance all round.

Personally I would have raised the cill up with cut
bricks or blocks and fitted the window flush up against
the lintel.

I'd be more concerned with that horizontal crack.

We bought the place from someone who fell out with their builder mid
'refurb'. It's easy to see why.
It's a shop so we're less precious about these things than if it was home.

Yeah, that stood out to me too.
The place is circa 200 years old though, it would be forgiven for
falling apart!

The crack does look if its the mortar line and not through the middle of
of bricks.

Has that part of the roof lifted at some time in a storm or strong wind?

I wouldn't be surprised, it gets windy around these parts.
I've fashioned myself an office in the eaves recently and it was
terrifying last weekend.

flexible frame filler to stop rain getting in when the wind comes that way?
