A delivery truck drives across the tarmac at the Seventon Inland Border Facility in Ashford, Kent. The multi-million pound Inland Border Facility (IBF) in Sevington, Kent, was built on a 230-acre site at a cost of more than £100 million and will accommodate 1,700 trucks. Its purpose was to carry out import controls on goods of plant and animal origin from the EU, falling under the remit of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). Defra recently confirmed that there are “no current operations” at Sevington. IBFs in Warrington and Ebbsfleet were also shut down in November last year as UK government policy is said to be moving away from strict border controls towards closer alignment with EU rules on certain imports, including those of plant and animal origin. Announcements from Defra are expected in the coming weeks.Credit:Dan Kitwood/Getty Images
