Well it's either an example of someone with a sense of humour, or an over-reliance on spell checkers, or someone is familiar with Tottenham regeneration. And it's still their, and so their we have it.

In this week's Private Eye magazine.
As most people guessed, the correct word was 'thraving' meaning endlessly reproducing the same regeneration reports by cut-and-pasting old documents and ideas. It's derived from 'thrave' - the collective noun for a 'bundle' or 'sheave'. Which comes from the Old English term a þrave of regeneration experts. Similar to the Icelandic word þrefi meaning 'triple' or 'threefold'. Indicating that we always need three times as many reports as previously.
