Colin at Bowman got back to me sooner than I expect. Below is exactly what he has said.
"In my personal opinion, I wouldn’t say that that is terminal, but there will always be an element of risk to these things. The middle of the tube is under less stress than closer to a junction and it doesn’t look like a crease, which can often propagate into a crack. If it was mine I would ride it, but for sale I would expect a lot less for the bike and be very clear with the buyer that it is sold as seen. "
Because of this I’ve edited some text in the ad and dropped £200 off the price. Worse comes to worse I'm actually not opposed to keeping this bike. Thanks again for the comments guys.

Hi buddy,
Appreciate your email. Do you have an more information on dents or something I could look into?I took it my local bike shop and they said it was okay! I'll take it down and sell the parts separately if you think the frame is dead. I will also be looking for a new bike shop if that it the case as I can only take their word for it.

Unfortunately selling my Bowman Palace:R as I need to get rid of some bikes.
I would like to mention before anything there is a small dent on the top tube which is viewable in the photos I've been told by both my local bike shop and Colin at Bowman that they would still personally ride it. I have been told there is alway an element of risk though so I would like to be totally clear that this is sold as seen.
Apart from that there is very little obvious cosmetic wear on the bike. I'm looking for £850
