But councillors on Folkestone and Hythe District Council s (FHDC) planning committee voted against the scheme at their meeting last night, held virtually.
Members refused the development based on their concerns about highway safety and sustainability.
Fears were also raised over increased litter, pollution and noise in the area if the new build was erected.
Councillors were also worried about its close proximity to schools and the M20 motorway - which already produces high CO2 emissions.
