If things are so tight that you can't get a landing clearance in, maybe the unit should review their spacing procedures
There IS a 'point' if it's still in the Mats Pt 1 although I know a lot of controllers were scared of using it.
It was frequently used when I was training at Glasgow with a 'light' following an airliner; we were taught 'land after the (Trident/737)' if the light aircraft wanted to continue into a touch and go and there would be sufficient room before the airliner vacated.
Alternatively 'expect late landing clearance' could be used.
