There is no substitution of distance based separation for DEPARTURES in the UK, or as Tower Ranger confirms, in Dubai where the OP was asking about.
The OP is a pilot with a take off clearance, not an ATCO. Unless there was a particular reason to assume the wake risk was increased then the pilot can assume that the tower has it covered. Wheels up to wheels up!
