Kent and northern brew hops are fine for a bog standard stout. And the yeast strain looks good too. However I dont understand pounds. Those units just makes my head hurt.

KG's here please as we are mostly European.

Since you're starting out with stout extract I doubt that you need much, if any, chocolate malt or much crystal.
I'm pretty sure that you'll need to mash the flaked oats with some 2 or 6 row base grain. Perhaps some oat malt would be a better choice.
I'd leave a 1.071 O G beer in primary for three weeks and there's no reason to even do a secondary.

Apart from the oats I wouldnt bother with any of the other malts, also leave out the irish moss, not that there's anything wrong with it but its just not needed here. Let us know how it goes :)

id cut down the amount of specialty malts...maybe leave out everything apart from the chocolate malt, just add less of it. for 5 gallons you'd probably want about less that half of what your suggesting. maybe only 200-250g for a batch that size. Also that's a lot of hops for a stout.... don't forget the Export kit is pre hoppped. if i was going to to hop additions to a stout id stick to one hop and do around 15-20g per 20Litres.
