A 27-acre site in Kent which opponents fear could be used for a post-Brexit "lorry park" has been bought by the government.
In a letter to residents living near the site off the M20 in Ashford, the Department for Transport (DfT) said it was planning "two primary uses".
Transport Minister Rachel Maclean said the site could be used as a border control post or temporary lorry park.
Ashford MP Damian Green said the site was in the wrong place.
In her letter to residents, Ms Maclean wrote: "Government departments envisage using it as a permanent site for facilities related to future border processes.
"The site may also be used as a contingency lorry holding area for the particular, foreseeable risk of significant disruption at the end of the transition period."
Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove previously said it was not the intention to create a massive concrete lorry park.
