320 (7B) refers to Refusal of entry clearance or leave to enter the United Kingdom. I don't think that it would directly affect the 14-year Long residence applications, as they would be made in-country.

However, immigration history is relevant to the fourteen-year Rule. Clearly, it would not be appropriate to refuse leave on the grounds of conduct simply because the applicant is an overstayer or illegal entrant, as that would defeat the purpose of the Rule. However, the Rule is not intended to reward people for their success in evading, or failing to cooperate with, the immigration control. Therefore, any deliberate or blatant attempts to circumvent the control, e.g. by absconding, contracting a marriage of convenience or using false documents (this is not an exhaustive list) may well mean that it is not in the public interest to grant leave.
