They will see it as a risk, then treble your premium....

I was thinking the insurance company might have the expertise to advise the original poster that he doesn’t need to worry, or, alternatively, that it’s a problem and how they’re going to help him. 

I don't think the average house insurer has ready access to wheelie bin risk consultants, or would care about the scenario.

What do the other neighbours who have bins do with their bins?  Also is the coach house a freehold?  Have you checked if the garages are technically under leasehold to you.A Closer Look at Coach Houses | CoverBuilder Insurance (mynewsdesk.com)

Also your tenants could be forced to keep their bins elswhere, except from what I gather there is nowhere else.

So I inderstand it correctly that these are 2 houses next to eachother with the road to the parking inbetween and the OP-s house is over it at the 1st foor?

If I've got this correctly, playing devil's advocate (without excusing any abuse) I can sort of see where they are coming from. Both houses on either side the OPs put their bins there so they think it's a logical place and see the archway as communal space as it does otherwise opperate as such.
