Business centre retention schedule

Source: Democracy Registration and Business Centre retention schedule version 2.0, adopted January 2024, expires end January 2026.


A PDF version of this retention schedule, including full version history, is held in the EDRM Retention Schedules folder.

Note: many Derbyshire Business Centre operations create only transient data, as the record is maintained by the client department (such as a service proposing a scanning project retaining the scanning proposal).

See an explanation of the 6+ Rule and all other standard disposition codes.
