You might want to widen your question to ask about landings on the parallel taxiway at Gatwick.

That's in line with the runway separation distances in ICAO Annex 14, PANS-OPS and PANS-ATM:
1035 m for independent parallel approaches (subject to suitable SSR requirements, otherwise 1310 m)
915 m for dependent parallel approaches
760 m for dependent parallel departures
760 m for segregated parallel operations (less if runways are staggered)
