Nearly parallel runways - different airports

Do you happen to know any real-life cases of 2 controlled airports with nearly parallel runways laying quite close to each other? How can ATC provide radar separation, when one (southern) of the runways lays at ca. 8NM final of the other (northern), while distance between the centerlines never exceedes 2.8NM? That means that EVERY departure from the southern rwy is conflicting with EVERY approach for the nothern runway.
I've read ICAO doc 9643 but I believe it concerns rwy on a single airport, maybe I am wrong.

Are there any airports with similar layout in UK?
