Thank you for looking those up and sharing.
In some other parts of the world, the protection of the ILS beam would preclude authorising the line-up for traffic this close. Irrespective of any specific limits on minimum separation and there would be some. Probably for CAT III = 200m = 1/8 SM even the airport would be not authorised to operate without ATC ground radar, at all.
Sorry to say, the position of the departing airplane seem to have been done procedurally. That does not qualify for LVP here, but reeks of Los Rodeos instead.
Do US operators utilize (the old) CAT IIIb 75 m?
Repecting that things are being done differently mostly for good reasons, just trying to learn.
