I wanted to clarify the recency requirements for my LAPL (A). The full document was a complete minefield so I emailed the CAA for confirmation. This reply may help others who are unsure. (As I understand it, it is down to the pilot to ensure he meets the requirements and instructors no longer sign licences and send bits of paper of to the CAA. Is this correct?? Anyone??)
I can clarify the LAPL recency requirements are set out in FCL.140.A, which may be found in CAP804, Section 4, Part B, Subpart 1. I have highlighted the applicable reference below for your information:
FCL.140.A LAPL(A) — Recency requirements
(a) Holders of an LAPL (A) shall only exercise the privileges of their licence when the have completed, in the last 24 months, as pilots of aeroplanes or TMG:
(1) at least 12 hours of flight time as PIC, including 12 take-offs and landings;
and
(2) refresher training of at least 1 hour of total flight time with an instructor.
(b) Holders of an LAPL(A) who do not comply with the requirements in (a) shall:
(1) undertake a proficiency check with an examiner before they resume the exercise of the privileges of their licence; or
(2) perform the additional flight time or take-offs and landings, flying dual or solo under the supervision of an instructor, in order to fulfil the requirements in (a).
I have attached a link to this publication from the CAA website for your review:

We hope this clarifies the requirements and satisfactory answers your query.
Kind regards,
