We use this phraseology when controlling light circuit traffic following a Small+ departure eg G-CD cleared to land, land only due wake turbulence, expect further clearance on the runway.
It helps to emphasise that a touch and go should not be carried out in order to prevent a wake turbulence encounter. It does not prohibit a G/A, however if the pilot needs to he will then be aware of the WT.

G-CD, unable to approve
due traffic, make full stop
landing runway 34 cleared
to land, surface wind calm
To me this phraseology seems more appropriate for denying a circuit detail due to traffic levels rather than holding the aircraft for WT before continuing, it also does not inform the pilot of a potential WT encounter.
