Interesting question. Having had a quick look as far as I can see the only criterion is that the landing aircraft can only cross the threshold of the runway and be given permission to land when the departing aircraft has completely cleared the runway. It seems to be down to the skill of the controller to calculate and monitor this.
Thanks for that update. my grandson had my air band radio so did not have ATC info, however, when the Jet2 released on to the runway I would have guest the KLM 6nm away and the Jet2 advised ready for takeoff, as he did not stop rolling and made an immediate take off.
In the back of my mind thought there was a 2 minute separation, but i think this is more to do with wake turbulence between different sized aircraft and not an issue in this case.
Interestingly up and the airfield again today and even when incoming 6 minutes away aircraft nor being released for take off.
 
Oddly enough, my neighbour was on the Jet2 to Kefalonia - the one on the runway. It may have been a matter of getting away to meet its slot. The KLM may also have been told to continue approach with one on (the runway) and expect a late clearance to land. I have heard this many times on the radio (and seen it) when up there taking photos. There is of course the risk that if the aircraft on the runway doesn't depart immediately, the KLM would have to abort and go around. I have seen this happen too. Ultimately I am sure it is a matter of judgement for the ATC provided both the aircraft crews are fully aware of the situation.
 
Some years ago I saw this sort of thing happen at NCL where a departing aircraft had been given clearance to enter the runway for take off and an arriving aircraft had been given clearance to continue his approach, presumably with the proviso that final clearance to land would only be given once the departing aircraft had got away.

In the event the departing aircraft was too slow and the arriving aircraft, who was virtually about to touch down, was told to go around at the very last minute. From the terminal it all looked very hairy but I'm sure it was all very controlled and 'just one of those things' that happen when the controller was trying to keep everyone happy and things moving.

If the KLM had made its own decision to abort (is this possible) would the Jet2 have had to abort take off even if started its roll out.
