Hi there,
We use the RM Soc's Retention Guidelines for Local Authorities as a default
Retention Schedule, though we are gradually developing our own, reflecting
our personal usage as we go through and audit each directorate here.
I've just had an enquiry about some Highways files that don't seem covered
in what we've done thus far, or what the RM Soc suggests, and if anyone has
any thoughts on retention periods, it'd be very useful. The files are:
Naming and numbering of new developments which can also include naming
of new streets for larger developments. (We still refer to London County
Council files dating back 40 years or more, so this may be an approriate
guideline.)
Stopping up of public highways under S247 of the Town & Country Planning
Act (Orders made by the Council) or S116 of the Highways Act ( Orders
made by the Council whereas the latter are Orders made by a magistrates
court and presumably held indefinitely in some data bank).
S38 agreements for the construction and adoption of new roads.
S177 licences where buildings oversail the public highway.
Many thanks for your thoughts!
Fraser
