Crown Estate Paving Commission

The Crown Estate Paving Commission (CEPC) is the body responsible for managing certain aspects of the built environment around Regent's Park, London.

It fulfills some local government functions, and it is one of the few bodies in the United Kingdom still empowered to levy rates on residential property.

Although it has local government functions and tax-raising powers, its members are not elected but are appointed by the Lords of the Treasury.

[6] The CEPC was explicitly excluded from the Metropolis Management Act 1855 that otherwise reformed local government in the metropolitan area of London.

CEPC has statutory authority under the Crown Estate Paving Act 1851 to collect rates from the occupiers of buildings in the streets which it manages[9] numbering about 1,200.
