There's a strong chance that the brickwork under the window will
suffer from rising damp - and this may also spread sideways.

And why is that a problem? *It's unlikely (although not impossible)

the window. *Of course, it would mean that anything stored in the
garage might be liable to damp damage.

Not only making the inside damp - with tools going rusty -

Most garages are pretty draughty places. I doubt it's any worse
without a dpc.

but also the damp
brickwork would potentially be susceptible to frost damage.

So what about the brickwork *below* the dpc?
