There is no specified waiting period, but in your case, I'd wait longer.

Your SL at approval was low, I'm glad they increased it, but that also means you should hold off for a while

Use your card, pay it, wait 6 months then try. 

They gave you a huge limit compared to others, you've had a very active credit year, it's time to relax for a while even though you managed to get negatives removed.

It's always better if we slow ourselves down, so lenders dont have to.

I'll second waiting about 6 months.  It's also important to note that they will use your TU 08 score rather than Experian for lending decisions.
