Where would the damp go? can it then cross the cavity?Yes that would be a classic example of the dpc being bridged.

That depends on the quality of your build. If it's anything like how they used to build in the '70s or '80s...Where would the damp go? can it then cross the cavity?

To put his tea and sandwiches on?You'll need a tray
Bang on what I was thinking Charlie. The wall is actually made of breeze block built in 1999-2000. On there is also two courses of them butterfly decorative blocks, finished with concrete capping at the top. I would suppose that it would be better to take the butterfly blocks and put normal bricks or leave it at the height it is after I take them off, got to be careful though as it is a party wall.You could also build this section of wall in engineering brick
so putting a dpm membrane up between the wall will stop damp rising and contaminating my outer leafWalls need to breathe so building against a source of damp increases the likelihood of bridging if the risks are already present (poor construction, failed ties etc).
