The minimum radar separation is 2.5 miles but the spacing required for wake vortex purposes depends on the WV categories (generally determined by aircraft weight) of the aircraft concerned. In some cases there is no spacing required for WV purposes.

In the UK we use a slighly different set of WV categories to those specified by ICAO but I think you'll find the ICAO ones in Doc 4444.
