When I applied for a LAPL the application form had a tickbox which gave the option to retain the NPPL to run concurrently. I took that option so now have both NPPL and LAPL with TMG.

. . . erm, an EASA licence is valid for non-EASA aircraft (at least in the UK.)
EASA does not set rules wrt. to non-EASA aircraft. It's up to the local authorities to set rules for maintenance, licensing and whatnot.
The UK has decided that you can fly a non-EASA aircraft either on the appropriate EASA license (EASA LAPL, PPL, CPL, ATPL), or on the appropriate UK license (UK NPPL, UK PPL and so forth).
In the UK you can therefore hold both a non-EASA license (eg. NPPL), and an EASA license (eg. LAPL) for the same class of aircraft. But you cannot hold two EASA licenses (eg. LAPL and PPL) for the same class of aircraft.
Other EASA countries might not issue or support non-EASA licenses anymore. In those cases, the only license that the local authority allows to fly a non-EASA aircraft, is an EASA license. But that's something that's written down in local law, not in the EASA legislation.
In easa land is it possible to have a lapl and a ppl at the same time
You cannot, at the same time hold more than one EASA Licence for the same category of aircraft. ie. 'Baloons' 'Aeroplanes' 'Helicopters' etc.
In the UK, you can hold both an EASA Licence, and a UK National Licence for the same category of aircraft, but the UK Nationmal Licence is restricted to LAPL privileges, until 8th April 2018, after which it will be valid for Annex II aircraft only.

Mach jump has the terminology right - 'category' of aircraft not 'class' of aircraft. One can have only one EU licence for each category of aircraft - aeroplane, helicopter, glider / sailplane, balloon.
I've seen this one licence restriction a lot lately .... and being an NFN ''Boi''. I did/do not understand , especially as my EASA licence on the front says Flight Crew Licence and on the A4 sheet then describes which licence ... The CAA kindly typed ATPL , CPL , and PPL ; and as I understand it ....... On the day I can decide which licence and which privileges I wish to use .

When I asked the DGAC if I could fly my G-reg homebuilt in France on an LAPL, their reply hinted that it was a silly question...
The UK CAA has decided that any EASA Licence, appropriate to the aircraft type, is acceptable, in addition to UK National Licences.
As a LAPL is valid throughout EASA, you can fly your Uk registered homebuilt anywhere within EASA.
You will need French DGAC approval though, to operate a UK registered 'Permit to Fly' aircraft in France.

Ps.
It's worth noting that, due to an oversight in the drafting of Part.FCL, a PPL, unlike an ATPL and a CPL, does not include the privileges of a LAPL!
This means that if you let your Medical lapse to a LAPL one, you can only use it with an ATPL, CPL, LAPL, or NPPL, but not with a PPL!.

They're proposing to include LAPL privileges within the PPL. Which could well lead to utter confusion, due to the lack of 'Ratings' and different validity requirements. A pilot could well fly something like a C152 'using LAPL privileges', but with a lapsed SEP Class Rating. So what happens when he gets his medical back - does he now need to fly a proficiency check in order to renew his SEP Class Rating?
Fair enough to find a way of letting a pilot continue to fly if his Class 2 lapses, but meets LAPL medical requirements. My recommendation is simply to restrict his SEP Class Rating to the same 2000 kg / 4 PoB / EASA MS only limits as the LAPL, but to maintain the Class rating as normal.

This is already the situation with SEP Class Ratings on CPLs and ATPLs.
The flight time should still count towards the Revalidation of an SEP, so, if people allow their SEP to lapse, they are in the same situation as someone who has forgotten to get their licence signed by the due date, and they should have to Renew it just like anyone else.

Ps.
With the ever increasing complexity of Revalidation/Currency requirements, do you really think that the majority of ordinary people still even care if their LAPLs/SEPs/SSEAs are still valid or not?

Bonjour,
Du point de vue licences, l'article 11 du règlement 216/2008 du 20 février 2008 stipule dans son §1 que les Etats membres reconnaissent sans exigence ni évaluation technique supplémentaire, les certificats délivrés conformément au présent règlement.
La licence LAPL(A) délivrée par l'Autorité britannique entrant dans ce cas de figure, vous pouvez volez en France avec cette licence.

An LAA permit to fly is only valid outside the UK with the approval of the National Authority of the country in which you want to fly.
