“3. A pilot licence issued in accordance with article 152 of the Air Navigation Order 2016 is deemed to comply with this Regulation where—

(a)it remains valid in accordance with that Order;

(c)it is used within the privileges of those ratings on a flight conducted in accordance with Annex VII of Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 of 5 October 2012 laying down technical requirements and administrative procedures related to air operations pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

4. The ratings SSEA, SLMG and TMG have the meanings given in Schedule 1 to the Air Navigation Order 2016, and the rating SEP refers to a single-engine piston aeroplane of the kind described in Annex 1, Subpart B, point FCL.105.A(a) to this Regulation.”.

(4) In Article 4, in paragraph 8, for “Until 8 September 2021, the” substitute “The”.
There is no reference there to LAPL privileges only. The referred Annex VII I've linked below and is just the enabling regulation for part NCO - Non Commercial Operations.

I looked into this a while ago, and it appeared that there were some misleading public announcements from CAA which indicated this "LAPL privileges only", but that was never actually reflected in any of the original legislation.
