id think you would be ok to use nothing in the void, personally because im fussy id put some kingspan or some sort of insulation between the wall.
make sure you tie it into the existing brick work and use wall ties.
thats all i can think of...
but theres alot more experienced people on here than me

Ideally you want to match the existing cavity wall insulation if possible. If you use rigid board like kingspan it must be pinned against the internal wall as jono suggested.
Remember to open the cavity back up at the reveals and really you should consider toothing out a few block on the inside for a better job. Also as mentioned use ties.
