Documents held back by embassy

Hi there, does anyone know if it is standard practice for the embassy (Uk in Canada) to keep back specific documents without telling the applicant they are doing so? My visit visa was refused (see my other thread "Has My Visa been Approved or Denied" by Jenny Wren) and looking back through the supporting documents that my English boyfriend and I submitted, I have realised that they've kept certain ones, including: the application form itself; letters of support; my boyfriend's letter of employment; my letter proving my income; among others. These are original documents! Are they allowed to do this?
Thanks so much again to anyone who can help...
