The way I read that, and I am happy to be corrected, is that the CAA expect the Opt Out to be enshrined in law by next April and the NPPL to live forever and be good for G-registered EASA & AnnexII (for want of a better way to describe the two groups of airframes) that we fly.
Very highly speculative. EASA invited MS to develop their own exemptions pending the Basic Regulation amendment, which
might include an extension to the existing LAPL opt-out clause until 2020.
There has been no plebiscite concerning the UK leaving EASA. If that were to happen, you can expect a trebling of all GA licensing fees to cover the cost of the additional personnel needed to cover the manning requirements which the CAA would need to take over from EASA.
