Epping Forest Cycling Action Plan 2018 scheme 12) proposes:

New off road segregated cycle track to meet minimum width requirements for pedestrians and cyclists along either side of Parklands, replacing the existing remote footway between Parklands roundabout and Ninefields. In the Epping Forest District Local Plan there is an area allocated for development called “Waltham Abbey North Masterplan Area” which could be a primarily residential development with an element of employment north of Parklands. Therefore a potential route along this road would be beneficial to any future development.
