There to be
"For reasons better explained in maths than words, the framework also requires there to be at least six extra spatial dimensions, in addition to time and the three spatial ones of everyday life." (The Guardian.)
Is "there to be at least six extra spatial dimensions" a non-finite infinitive clause or is "there" a locative one in the sentence above?
