Wake Turbulence

I'm interested to hear about how your local airport's ATC (especially in the Uk) integrates you into their traffic pattern with regard to wake turbulence.

For example. You are cleared to approach and land directly onto your apron remaining north of the runway at all times (your apron is around 300m north of the runway centreline). There is a 737 departing the main runway as you arrive. Would your ATC unit ask you to

a) Hold off for 2 minutes due wake turbulence from the departure.

b) Clear you in remaining north of the runway and issue you with a "caution wake turbulence" message or

c) clear you in with no mention of the potential wake turbulence as you are routing direct and not crossing the runway?

d) treat you like a fixed wing and insist that you make the approach to the runway.
