Parish councils in the area were also against the idea.
Councillors who considered the proposal at a meeting of Leicestershire County Council backed a recommendation by planning officers in turning down the request.
The quarry’s operator Mick George Ltd said the move would have allowed it to better serve the construction industry and limit HGVs in the area during peak traffic hours.
