Marshall's caseload has a notable concentration of Certificate of Lawful Development (Existing use) applications relying on the four-year immunity rule under Section 171B of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and she is methodical about the specific evidentiary trail needed to establish lawfulness by time — cross-referencing aerial imagery dated to a specific pre-application year against the applicant's own documentary evidence, and independently consulting Council Tax records where gaps exist in the applicant's timeline rather than accepting it at face value. She also handles accessibility-driven householder schemes (step-free ramps) with an explicit balancing-language structure, weighing character harm against quality-of-life benefit rather than treating either as automatically decisive.
· cross-references aerial imagery dated to a specific year against the applicant's own documentary evidence when assessing the four-year immunity rule under Section 171B, rather than accepting the applicant's account alone
· independently consults Council Tax records to fill evidentiary gaps in an applicant's lawfulness timeline where the submitted evidence has 'gaps in the dates provided'
· on accessibility-driven schemes (ramps, step-free access), explicitly frames the decision as a balance between character harm and quality-of-life/accessibility benefit rather than treating either factor as automatically decisive
· whether aerial imagery and other dated evidence corroborate the applicant's claimed four-year timeline for an unauthorised structure or use under Section 171B
· whether Council Tax or other independent records can resolve gaps in the applicant's own documentary evidence of a use's duration
· whether an accessibility-driven alteration's character impact is outweighed by the quality-of-life/accessibility benefit it provides to the specific applicant
“Although much evidence has been provided, the officers have noticed some gaps in the dates provided by the applicant. With that in mind, the officers made a consultation with Council Tax, to help determine the timeframe”

“when the impact of the proposal is weight against the reasons for appying for it, the imrovement to the quality of life and assessibility the extension will bring to the home onwer, this superseeds the partical difference in its appearance”
