I would tidy up the edges, paint inside and around with a diluted pva and fill with bonding coat in 3 stages so it is 3mm below surface. If you've got lots of holes to fill then buy multi finish, otherwise toupret and sand

Normally I'd use bonding over similar chases with wire in but there might be specific requirements for plastic pipes. Copper would need some kind of lagging but it looks like this never did have. Bonding is normally available in 25kg bags for around £10 so you might want to try and blag some from a building site. If you went for a more domestic filler designed for deep filling then Toupret Fibarex is popular and you would have something a bit more useful than 20kgs of Bonding left over.
I'm not familiar with the stuff that looks like joint tape but that will need trimming right back before you start.
Just found out that Toupret are changing the branding and names of their products this year so I'm going to be at a loss of what to recommend until I've found out how the range translates.

While we're on the subject of filling holes (ooh err) any suggestions for a product to fill the hole around this plastic central heating pipe I drilled through after the previous owner's builders just rendered them into the wall, complete with bonus pipe clips, lol (my plumber was particularly scathing about this bit).
We've been using big hole filler for some of the deeper holes in the plaster where we've been removing skirting but it does up to 50mm, this is 100mm at the deepest, plus for the amount we'd need I'd be better off buying shares in Ronseal.
