Hi,
I ran this through BeerSmith - assumed a full boil for the hops (60 min), and removed the oatmeal.
It came out a bit high on the OG (1.057, vice around 1.048 for the style). Personally I would cut down the aromatic which can be very strong - to about 1/2 lb and perhaps cut a half pound or pound of pale malt out.
The IBUs were a shade low, so perhaps just a touch more hops. I'm not a huge fan of Nugget for English brown, and would probably go with Northdown or a Goldings (in slightly more quantity to make up for the alpha), but its a matter of preference.
Other than that things look great - good luck!
Brad
