Hi Amy
I have attached a retention schedule I did with our licensing team in 2015, which may be of help.  It doesn't cover committee decisions - not sure that is a licensing retention, it is more about how long you retain committee records for?

Subject: Retention of Licensing Records

Hello,
I am a Project Manager from Middlesbrough Council, and am in the early stages of an Information Management Programme which will tackle multiple areas of IG improvement across the authority. 

A major piece of work needed to be undertaken before we have the rest of the programme in place is digitisation of our licensing records. 
The department has been storing paper records in no indexed order for many years. Simply a case of most recent action at the top in most cases. 

Over the years the team has been challenged on multiple issues and required to take files to court to be used as evidence so they are very uneasy about the files being weeded before being scanned. 

Can I ask has anyone on the board any experience of licensing retentions what appeared to be a simple 6 year from last action in most cases become more complex when we begin to discuss with the team. Worries arise around the register, licensing act, renewals, variations and also committee decisions. 

Any assistance and experience in this particular area would be greatly appreciated.   

Thank You
Amy Haswell
